Mail "from" Problem

I have 10.4.11 power Pc
Lately I have noticed that some of my incoming mail is not matching who it is from. When I click to open it, it is not the the mail as addressed. It is picking up an older mail from a different person and not showing me the correct mail. Not all incoming mail is doing this, most are correct.
I check it on the iphone and it is correct there. What is going on with my Mac?
Thanks for your help

Hello,
Not certain, but this can fix myriad Mail problems...
Safe Boot from the HD, (holding Shift key down at bootup), it will try to repair your Disk Directory while the spinning radian is happening, so let it go, run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, then move this folder & file to the Desktop.
Move this Folder to the Desktop...
/Users/YourUserName/Library/Caches/Mail/
Move this file to the Desktop...
/Users/YourUserName/Library/Mail/Envelope Index
Reboot.
If that doesn't do it and you can afford to redo all your Rules, try these & reboot...
/Users/YourUserName/Library/Mail/MessageRules.plist
/Users/YourUserName/Library/Mail/MessageRules.plist.backup

Hi I am having problems removing mail from trash folder. Can anyone help please

Hi I am having problems removing mail from trash folder. I can send mails to the folder but cannot delete them permanently from the trash folder. I am using Iphone 3G and anm up to date with OS. Can anyone help please

Check that there isn't a different Trash folder to the one with the proper Trash symbol on it.
If you see one in your list of folders rather than a separate one, highlight it, then click on Mailbox...Use this mailbox for...Trash

I am having problems gettting my mail to work ... Mac telling me that my start up disk id full and to delete some files to free up space ... have done this but when i open mail from the dock it just brings up the colour wheel and nothing happening

I am having problems gettting my mail to work ... Mac telling me that my start up disk id full and to delete some files to free up space ... have done this but when i open mail from the dock it just brings up the colour wheel and nothing happening ... it shows when you right click on the mail icon that " application not responding"

If your hard drive is getting full, you need to free up, at least, 20 GBs of space on your iMac's hard drive.
If your Mac is running a fairly recent version of OS X, here are some general guidelines.
Follow some of my tips for cleaning out, deleting and archiving data from your Mac's internal hard drive.
Have you emptied your iMac's Trash icon in the Dock?
If you use iPhoto, iPhoto has its own trash that needs to be emptied, also.
If you use Apple Mail app, Apple Mail also has its own trash area that needs to be emptied, too!
Other things you can do to gain space.
Delete any old or no longer needed emails and/or archive to disc, flash drives or external hard drive, older emails you want to save.
Look through your Documents folder and delete any type of old useless type files like "Read Me" type files.
Again, archive to disc, flash drives, ext. hard drives or delete any old documents you no longer use or immediately need.
Download an app called OnyX for your version of OS X.
When you install and launch it, let it run the automatic ans S.M,A.R.T. tests, then go to the cleaning and maintenance tabs and run the tabs that have the ability to clean out all web browser cache files, web browser histories, system cache files, delete old error log files.
Typically, iTunes and iPhoto libraries are the biggest users of HD space.
move these files/data off of your internal drive to the external hard drive and deleted off of the internal hard drive.
If you have any other large folders of personal data or projects, these should be archived or moved, also, to the optical discs, flash drives or external hard drive and then either archived to disc and/or deleted off your internal hard drive.
Good Luck!

Has anyone an Intermittent Problem sending mail from Mac OS X (10.6.8)?

I have a Mac mini operating on Mac OS X(10.6.8) Snow Leopard. In the last couple of weeks I have been having intermittent problems sending mail from Mac MAIL, especially if I hit the reply button. It whirls around for ever and then tells me to 'Try Later' or 'Try Again'. When I shut down my computer and open up mail again, I hear the mail whizzing off. I have just tried it now and it went in the time that it has taken me to compose this email. But sometimes the mail doesn't go at all. Could it me because I have too many messages in my inbox and sent boxes (around 1000 in each)? I read somewhere that you should delete Mail in library/pref/com.apple.mail.plst and reinstal it. But I'm frightened to do this in case I can't re-instal it as I don't know how to.

Problem sending mail from desktop

Hi
I am currently not able to send mail from my desktop. Works fine via web though. The message I get after a period of Mail trying to send message is the following
"The connection to the server 'smtp.mac.com' on port 25 timed out"
If I then run Connection Doctor, the further information I receive is
"Could not connect to this SMTP server. Check your network connection and and that you entered the correct information in the Account preferences".
Any help most welcome.
Thanks

J - Let me describe the issue I had before describing my work-around:
I started getting the message "Could not connect to this SMTP server" only after the upgrade from Tiger to Leopard, and then only when I was trying to send attachments larger than about 50KB. I'm in a rural area, and only have dial-up. I was able to send text messages, and could receive emails with text and attachments, regardless of size.
I believe that it is a Leopard issue in my case. Perhaps not in yours. Certainly you'll want to verify that something hasn't changed in your outgoing SMTP server settings....maybe contact your ISP to verify that they haven't made any changes.
However, if your problem does seem similar to mine, and if you're about to pull your hair out, like I was, you may wish to try what I've done to address this problem:
I have found two work-arounds...both are cumbersome, and I don't believe either is acceptable, but they do work for me. 1) Send mail from your ISP's webmail facility (or gmail, for example) or, 2) I have made a new partition on my disk on which I (re)installed Tiger. (I didn't have the "Could not connect..." issue with Tiger) I can drag attachments or other info into the Tiger partition from my Leopard disk, then restart in the Tiger disk. From Tiger, I can compose and send email from Tiger's Mail app. Good luck! Bill

Problem sending mail from iPhone

Hello
I have a problem sending mails from a Horde account in iPhone 5S. I guess the problem is about configuring the outgoing mail server, but I tried several things and nothing seams to work. The message I get is :
"Can't send mail. No password provided for account x
Please go to Mail account settings and enter a password"
Here goes the detailed configuration of the SMTP:
SMTP server: mail.account.pt
User name and Password: xxxxxx
SSL: OFF
Authentication: Password
Server port:587
What am I doing wrong?
Thank you for your help!
Best regards,
Pedro

After talking with my e-mail service provider I understood some more configurations, which might help you to help me:
SMTP Settings:
Authentication method: encrypted password
Connection Security: STARTTLS
How can I copy these settings into my iPhone 5S? In Authetication there's only the following options:
Password, MD5 challenge-response, HTTP MD5 Digest and NTLM...
Thank you!
Best regards,
Pedro Santos

The past few days my Mail app has started downloading multiple copies of e-mails from all pop servers. This is only happening on my Macbook not other macs. Deleting mail from server does not help. I ran ClamXav found 2 viruses deleted problem continues

opps. Long title there... The past few days my Mail app has started downloading multiple copies of e-mails from all pop servers. This is only happening on my Macbook not other macs. Deleting mail from server does not help. I ran ClamXav found 2 viruses deleted those. Checked for software update and installed suggested downloads. Problem still contintues. Any suggestions?

Folks,
even after having repaired the inbox folder under "properties" a few times, I still had some e-mails where the contents are different from the subject line.
In other words in the inbox there are two e-mails: one with subject line "abc", and another one with subject line "def".
When I display the e-mail with the subject line "abc", the contents are from the e-mail with the subject line "def" in the in-basket.
What else can be done to correct this problem?
Thanks and best regards.

Printing e-mail from Google-Problems

The only way we can print an e-mail from Google e-mail is to print as a PDF and then use Acrobat Reader and print it from that application. It drives my wife crazy. Any suggestions? Thanks. Dave

How do you access your Email?
* Do you log into an email service through a web browser?
* Or do you use an email software client such as MS Outlook?
If you are logging into an email client through a web browser, then are you doing so in Internet Explorer? Have you tried multiple browsers to make sure the problem doesn't follow?
I would also advise trying an alternate driver, such as the 990c driver, to see if it is a driver compatibility issue. For information on how to use an alternate driver, see Shane_R's thread found here. Hope this helps.

Try this first - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.)
Or this - Delete the account in Mail and then set it up again. Settings->Mail, Contacts, Calendars -> Accounts Tap on the Account, then on the red button that says Remove Account.

Maverick Mail Printing Problem: prints email header on separate page from body of email. Why?!

Maverick Mail Printing Problem: prints email header on separate page from body of email. Why?!

For what it's worth, I can report exactly the same problem. I just recently converted from Outlook for Mac 2011 to Mail. I did the conversion while running Yosemite. I like pretty much everything about Mail EXCEPT that it take 2 pages to print a 1 page email!! The header appears on the top of p.1, followed by a blank space. The message begins at the top of p.2.
If you scale it down, you can get the message to begin to appear on the bottom of p.1, but clearly, Mail is inserting BIG SPACE between the header and the message. Changing the display fonts for Mail had no apparent effect (except that the font DID change, of course)....still a BIG SPACE between the header and the message.
Coming to Mail for the first time, I would have assumed that this was just a quirk of Mail, but am I understanding that some of you Mail users out there USED TO NOT have this problem?? I think it's pretty clear that it's Mail that's causing the problem, not the message, because I went over to my old Outlook and printed the same couple of messages with no such space between the header and the message. So Mail is inserting a space into the print formatted email message that is NOT there in Outlook's print formatted same message.
Be really nice to get rid of this problem, but my Apple Care free support has expired. Not sure I want to pay for something that's generic to Mail!! Anyone else made any progress on this?

Problem moving mail from one computer to another...

Hello.
I'm trying to move a specific mailbox from one computer to another computer. I'm doing this to 2 pairs of machines and with the first pair I had no issues. But, then second pair I get errors.
On the first computer I just copied the .mbox folder (which contains the sub "Messages" folder & info.plist file) from the one computer to the other. Then, in mail.app I "import" the messages via the Import option (importing mail from Mac OS X). No problem and all messages are imported.
On the second pair of computers, I did the same thing, but when I try and Import the messages onto the second machine, it says it can't find any OS X mail messages to import.
I really need to get these messages from one machine to another. "Forwarding" or "Redirecting" all the messages from one machine to another isn't an option.
Can anyone suggest what might be wrong, or another way of migrating the single folder of messages (not the entire account) from one machine to another?
Thanks,
Kristin.

Hi Kristin,
I stay away from mbox files because it has never worked for me, but I may have a solution. This may not be THE award winning answer, but you could consider it when the other options don't work:
I assume you want to import a mailbox that is NOT part of an IMAP account, because otherwise you would not have this problem (right?) (otherwise just open that IMAP account on the computer you want the messages on).
But if you have an IMAP account, besides the POP account that contains the mailbox in question, you can use that account to fix your problem:
Go to the compu that has the desired mailbox, make a new folder in the IMAP account called 'backup' or whatever. Copy all messages from the desired mailbox to that new IMAP folder (depending on size this may take a while, because you are uploading via your internet connection). Now go to the other compu, make a new 'local folder' in mail.app. Open the IMAP account in mail.app and open the 'back up folder'. Now copy all messages to the new, local folder.
If you don't have an IMAP account, you can always open a free one with gmail.
I know, it's not very elegant, but this will work guaranteed.
Good luck,
Feddeg

Really weird problem -- won't download mail from one sender

I'm having a really weird problem. Apple Mail won't retrieve mail from my Gmail account via POP3 from one sender only. All other mail is downloaded normally, except from a particular sender. What could be causing this? Thanks.

I am trying to remember and research something about the Junk filter and Gmail accounts. Have you checked in your Junk mailbox, if Junk in enabled and there is a separate Junk mailbox?
If you click on my name to the left, and look in the bio line of the resulting Profile, you will find an email address you can reach me with. If you email me at that address, I will send you a Gmail address that your sender can test sending a message to me at my Gmail account.
